The International Exhibition: "The Whisper", by J. Sant, 1862. Engraving of a painting which...arrests the eye...by the force and depth of its effect and the richness of its colour. The flesh-tints, or, as artists term them, the "carnations"; the deep red mantle; the diverse hues, or, as they are popularly called, "shades", of brown hair; the vine-leaves; the sombre, warm green background; the poppy and other flowers &c. form a very pleasing combination of colour. The handling...is broad and free. The attitudes and expressions of the little maidens are very natural, and, with the title, suggestive; but as these - we trust we may be permitted to say - have been faithfully preserved by our draughtsmen and engraver, we will leave the reader to speculate upon whom these pretty little ladies have apparently caught sight of or expect, and the nature of the seemingly mischievous and naughty confidence "whispered" in what is, probably, their place of concealment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

The International Exhibition - The Whisper, by J. Sant, 1862,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue viewers with its enchanting beauty and mysterious narrative. Created by Spanish painter Jose Ferriol y Santacana, also known as J. Sant, and masterfully engraved by W. Thomas, this exquisite print was first published in the Illustrated London News in 1862. The image arrests the eye with its force and depth of effect and the richness of its color. The flesh-tones, or as artists term them, carnations; the deep red mantle; the diverse hues, or shades, of brown hair; the vine-leaves; the somber, warm green background; the poppy and other flowers, all form a very pleasing combination of color. The handling is broad and free, adding to the overall sense of liveliness and spontaneity. The attitudes and expressions of the little maidens are very natural, and their suggestive titles add an air of mystery and mischief. The title itself, "The Whisper," invites the viewer to speculate on whom these pretty little ladies have apparently caught sight of or expect, and the nature of the seemingly mischievous and naughty confidence whispered in what is, probably, their place of concealment. The print is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of both J. Sant and W. Thomas. The artist's ability to capture the essence of childhood innocence and the engraver's meticulous attention to detail bring this scene to life. The result is a work of art that continues to captivate and delight viewers over a century and a half after its creation.
